Dawes and Dawes selected as 2012 Wabash County Farm Family of the Year

by Brent Swan The Wabash County Chamber of Commerce recently announced Dawes and Dawes Farm as the 2012 Wabash County Farm Family of the Year. The farm, owned and operated by Wendel and Scott Dawes, is primarily a livestock operation located at the intersection of 400N and 200W. “It is a very humbling experience,” Wendel said. “There are a lot of farmers who are good stewards of the land and take good care of their animals here in Wabash County and to be selected for this award is an honor.” Dawes and

Dawes Farm was started in 1958 after Wendel graduated from high school and married his wife, Janene. After working for his brothers, Wendel decided to build his first building, a chicken house capable of holding 1,000 chickens. From there, the farm has grown to where it is today, annually selling 13,000 hogs and over a million pullets. “We first started off farming some ground,” Scott said. “Back in 1975 we got our first hogs and we have expanded from there. We decided soon after I graduated, to get into the veal calves, where we eventually grew to about 2,100 veal calves. Then as the opportunities went by the wayside in the veal industry, those barns went to loose housed veal calves, then to grain calves, and now they are back in hogs. We’ve continued to follow what opportunities are there in the markets and now we primarily finish out hogs and the poultry.” The ability to adapt to changes in the marketplace is one of the key reasons to the longterm success of

time because corn was $2 or $3 per bushel,” Scott said of the decision to rent out the ground. “We still have the ground to haul manure on. Now, looking back over the past year or two it’s easy to say we should still be farming our ground, but we don’t have to worry about the weather or any of that. We can concentrate solely on the livestock.” By concentrating on their livestock, Wendel and Scott have been able to keep pace with the ever-changing poultry business. “The poultry industry has changed so much in the amount of time we’ve been doing it,” Scott said. “We’ve gone from gathering the eggs by hand with my sister Dana after school to where we are nearly fully auto-

mated now. The pullet people we deal with have been so proactive in the vaccines and ensuring the general health of the birds to prevent some of the health issues pullets have had over the years. Now, they are in here almost every week misting the birds or running water vaccinations to help these birds stay healthy.” In recent years, a push towards organic or free-range farming has hit the livestock markets. According to Scott, one of the easiest ways to deal with this way of thinking is through education. “If I can take people out and show them this is where I keep my hogs, this is what it feels like inside whether it’s 100 degrees (continued on page 5)

Sen. Banks named ‘Distinguished Public Official’ by Ivy Tech STATEHOUSE (Feb. 26,) — Ivy Tech Community College today awarded State Sen. Jim Banks (RColumbia City) its f i r s t - e v e r Distinguished Public Official Award at the institution’s 50th anniversary celebration.

The award follows Banks’ efforts this session to improve higher education by making it more efficient and affordable to obtain a college degree. “No one has done more for higher education than Sen. Banks,” Ivy Tech

Community College President Thomas J. Snyder said. “He understands our students’ life issues and is supportive of their efforts to earn a college degree. When our Student Government Association and Office of the

President were choosing who should receive this inaugural award, Sen. Banks immediately came to mind.” This legislative session, Banks authored several bills to support students like those at Ivy Tech,

including Senate Bill 182, which enhances credit transferability through a common course numbering system and requiring associate degrees credits to be counted toward a bachelor’s degree, and Senate Bill 406, which

streamlines dual college-credit course options for high school students. “It’s an honor to have been recognized by an institution like Ivy Tech,” Banks said. “This school has done so much to help its students accomplish

their academic goals, and I’m humbled to know my legislation has played a part in that. I look forward to working with Ivy Tech and other Indiana colleges in future efforts to improve higher education.”

Chrysler CEO reports 1,250 new jobs in North Central Indiana Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne was joined today by Indiana Governor Mike Pence, Kokomo Mayor Greg Goodnight and Tipton Mayor Don Havens at

a press conference held at the Kokomo Transmission Plant. Marchionne confirmed plans to continue investing $212 million in new manufacturing equipment

at its four transmission production facilities in Kokomo and invest $162 million in a new transmission manufacturing plant near Tipton. Chrysler antici-

pates hiring over 1,200 new workers to meet the company’s production demand for its new eight- and nine-speed automatic transmissions. “Chrysler’s future

and the future of North Central Indiana are tied together, and that future has never looked brighter,” said Kokomo Mayor Greg Goodnight. “Today’s

announcement is a product of Mr. Marchionne’s World Class Manufacturing approach that emphasizes quality in all aspects of operations. He has developed a partnership with the UAW, Chrysler as well as state and local officials to revitalize this company, and it shows. It’s seen in the workers’ pride on the factory floors and in the showrooms where

sales of Chrysler automobiles outpace competitors.” The eight and nine speed transmissions, produced exclusively in North Central Indiana, will help Chrysler increase fuel efficiency and reduce emissions in order to meet proposed U.S. rules requiring automakers to increase gas mileage to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.

American Cancer Society urges those over 50 to get tested for colorectal cancer

March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and the American Cancer Society urges the community to be part of the prevention efforts for the third leading cause of cancer death for both men and women in the United Stated. In fact, half of all colon cancer deaths each year could be prevented in the U.S. if everyone age 50 and older got screened. Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in the U.S. for both men and women. This year colorectal cancer will take the lives of more than 51,000 Americans. That’s nearly 140 deaths every day, many of them preventable. Early detection allows doctors to remove polyps before they become cancerous, therefore preventing the disease altogether. In 2013, an estimated 102,480 new cases of colorectal cancer will be diagnosed in

the United States. And in Indiana alone, 9 people every day will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer (commonly referred to as colon cancer) almost always starts with a polyp – a small growth on the lining

of the colon or rectum. African Americans have the highest death rate from colon cancer of any racial or ethnic group in the United States. Colon cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Hispanic/Latino

men and women. Early colon cancer usually causes no symptoms and can be detected by available colon cancer screening tests. However, as colon cancer progresses, the disease may cause symptoms including: changes in bowel

habits, a feeling that you need to have a bowel movement that doesn’t go away even after you do have a bowel movement, bleeding from the rectum or blood in the stool, cramping or gnawing stomach pain and weakness and fatigue.

Unleashing Your Potential at Work

Most employees do not have a career development plan for where they are headed in their organization

and how to get there. This leadership training led by Ed Turi, Vice President and Consultant for Right

Management, on Thursday, March 7, will help you develop one. If you are a team leader or the head of your organization, unleashing your people’s potential will be your most important competitive edge to drive future productivity, success and growth in your organization. Working with your employees in helping them have a career development plan is one of the best ways to engage your employees in their work and create loyalty to your organization or team. This training will also give team leaders beginning steps on having career discussions with your team members. Mr. Turi will be giving this leadership training called: Unleashing Potential: Building a Career Development Culture to Drive Employee Engagement. Turi states, “A recent survey showed that almost 44 percent of workers were unsatisfied with their jobs. While many of these workers are staying in place, others are at risk to leave

Market St, Wabash, IN. The purpose of this luncheon is to honor top graduating seniors from local high schools (North M a n c h e s t e r, N o r t h f i e l d , Southwood, Wabash City and Whites), and to have an opportunity to encourage local talent to return to their home county for

employment opportunities during the summers or after graduation from their college experience. This is just a small step in the effort to cultivate the “brain gain” in Indiana, building our future workforce. This event has been overwhelmingly successful over the past eleven years.

Dawes and Dawes selected as 2012 Wabash County Farm Family of the Year... continued from front page or 20 degrees outside, they’ll see we do whatever we can to take care of our animals,” Scott said. “If you go back 25 or 30 years when all those animals are kept outside, it was a totally different environment.” Both Dawes agreed, however, that the entire process of farming together as a family has been highly rewarding. “It’s been a great experience and a great place to raise a family,” Wendel said. “I can say at this point in my life that I don’t know that I could have done anything else and enjoyed it as much as I have this.” “Even though neither one of my children, Camron a sophomore engineering student at IUPUI, and Erin, a senior at

Northfield High School, are looking to come back to the farm, it’s been a good place for them to grow up,” Scott said. “They have learned things you can’t learn anywhere else. They’ve seen baby goats be born - I’ve been able to see them argue who gets to name which goat what. I’ve enjoyed it all.” With the next generation unsure they will return to the farm, Scott and Wendel have hired Travis Tackett as a part-time employee through the Heartland Career Center’s ICE program. “Even though he’s part-time now, he works like a full-time employee,” Scott said. “We’re hoping he’ll join us full-time after he graduates from high school in the

spring.” Without the support of their employees and family over the years, both Wendel and Scott say none of this would have been possible. “My wife, Barb is basically like an unpaid employee,” Scott said. “She’s always there to do what is needed to help out, whether it’s getting parts in town or bringing out hundreds of gallons of tea over the summer.” In the end, Scott says he believes the Farm Family of the Year Award shows how much Wabash County recognizes the impact farming has on the community as a whole. “If you look at the the impact farms have on the community, a lot of the volunteering and fundraising

type efforts are led by agribusinesses and farmers. ” Scott said. “We appreciate this honor and all of the Chamber’s efforts to recognize the farmers in the community.” The Dawes family will be honored by Chamber President Kimberly Pinkerton during the Salute to Agriculture Banquet slated for March 25, 6:30 p.m., at the Wabash County REMC Building. “The Dawes family’s commitment to the agriculture industry is evident in their operations as well as their service in organizations such as serving on the State Poultry Committee, Wabash County Farm Bureau, Wabash County 4-H, FFA and other groups,” said Pinkerton. “Dawes and Dawes Farm

donated over 300 dozen ears of corn last year as well as hogs to those in need in Wabash County. It is truly an honor for the Chamber to recognize their quality of operations and exceptional level of service in promoting the agriculture industry.” The speaker for the Salute to Ag event will be Brian Cardinal, a Purdue University basketball player, and former member of the Dallas Mavericks. Cardinal won an NBA championship with the Mavericks in 2011 after defeating the Miami Heat in six games. To make reservations for the event, contact the Chamber office at 260-563-1168 or email info@wabashchamber.org with the

names of attendees. Cost is $15 per person and reservations will be accepted through March 15. Members of the Chamber’s Ag Committee include

Wabash County Hospital participates in Patient Safety Coalition During the week of March 3, Wabash County Hospital will participate with the Indiana Hospital Association and other Indiana hospitals to observe Patient Safety Awareness Week and honor a statewide commitment to collectively work together as a health care community to provide the safest care possible. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence has joined this effort by proclaiming March 3-9, 2013, as Patient Safety Awareness Week in the state of Indiana. Patient Safety Awareness Week is an annual education and awareness campaign for health care safety led by the National Patient Safety Foundation. This year’s Patient Safety 7/365 theme highlights the need for

everyone to understand the importance of focusing on patient safety year-round. “Patient Safety 7/365 reminds us that providing safe patient care requires a constant and dedicated effort, 365 days a year. This week encourages a sustainable and conscientious collaboration between not only our health care organization, but also other hospitals, providers and consumers. The week is intended to imprint an indelible statement that efforts toward patient safety must be collaborative and that we must never be satisfied with the status quo,” Marilyn CusterMitchell, WCH President & CEO, said. NPSF encourages creative collaboration among provider

groups, patient advocates and other community organizations to help patients and consumers understand how they can participate to be part of the solution. Wabash County Hospital supports collaboration and has joined together with area hospitals to participate in a regional patient safety coalition, INEPSCO Region 3. The INEPSCO Region 3 is one of 11 regional patient safety coalitions in Indiana, led by the Indiana Hospital Association’s Indiana Patient Safety Center. The goal of these coalitions is to forge a bond between hospitals on patient safety, driven by evidencebased practices to markedly improve the quality of care.

Hospitals participating in the regional patient safety coalitions operate under the key principle that “we do not compete on patient safety.” Every hospital in the state now has access to a regional coalition to promote leadership and front-line staff engagement in safety improvements. “Patient safety and the quality of care in our hospitals remains a primary focus of the Indiana Hospital Association and our 11 regional patient safety coalitions that blanket the state,” said Betsy Lee, director, Indiana Patient Safety Center. “Indiana hospitals continue to reach patient safety milestones and find ways to improve the care their patients receive.”

Francine’s Friends Mobile Mammography coming to Manchester Community Schools on March 14 The Francine’s Friends Mobile Mammography coach, in partnership with P a r k v i e w Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Breast Diagnostic Center, is coming to M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools. This 38-foot long motor coach is furnished with state-of the-art mammography equipment and staffed by radiology technologists from the Breast Diagnostic Center (BDC) who specialize in mammography. The motor coach is designed for complete privacy, and the mammogram takes about 15-20 minutes. A board-certified, breast-imaging radiol-

ogist will interpret and exam and both you and your physician will be notified of the results. American Cancer Society recommends an annual mammogram beginning at age 40. Women 35-40 should consider having a baseline mammogram. Statistics show many women do not take the time to have this very important screening done. Screening mammography is the best means of detecting breast cancer and can potentially save lives. Lumps as small as the size of a pea can be detected by mammography. Breast cancers found at such an early stage have a 98 per-

cent cure rate. We offer convenience and accessibility for women who don’t have the time to get one and a way to make it easer to have this test year after year. The time is now – make this important choice and call to schedule your appointment. Spaces are limited – contact 260-483-1847 or 800-7278439 ext. 26540. These 15 minutes could save your life. Please note: Women who are currently experiencing problems with their breasts are not able to have a screening mammogram on the coach. For more information, contact the Breast Diagnostic Center at 483-1847.

Its been one year ago today I lost you Dad. Not a day has gone by I still feel sad. Your spirit, kind heart, your face, your voice and your love still lives within me. They say healing takes time, I disagree. The longer time goes on dealing with your loss still seems so tough. Why must it be so rough? You are the beautiful sunrise in the morning. You are the glistening star that stands out at night. You are the haze that surrounds the moonlight. I know you watch over me in heaven from afar. I’m still here wondering how you are. I just wish we weren’t so far away. You’re there guiding me the right way. God has you safely under his wing where all angels beautifully sing. I am sure it is gorgeous up there Sometimes life without you is hard to be ar But when my time comes, I must wait my turn. I know I still have a lot to learn. Until then you are forever in my heart, mind, body & soul. And when I go, I will forever be whole.

During Red Cross Month, the American Red Cross recognizes the nation’s Everyday Heroes who give of themselves and in some way help their community. “Please remember those who help all of us here in North Central Indiana by giving their time to help their neighbor,” said Mitch Figert, Executive Director of the American Red Cross of North Central Indiana. “We want to thank our heroes financial supporters who help us assist those in need.” President Franklin D. Roosevelt first proclaimed March as Red Cross Month 70 years ago. Since 1943, every president, including President Obama, has designated March as Red Cross Month. The American Red Cross is synonymous with helping people, and has been doing so for more than 130 years. The Red Cross responds to nearly 70,000 disasters a year in this country, providing shelter, food, emotional support and other necessities to those affected. It provides 24-hour support to members of the military, veterans and their families – in war zones, military hospitals and on military installations around the world; collects and distributes about 40 percent of the nation’s blood supply and trains more than seven mil-

lion people in first aid, water safety and other life-saving skills every year. “Red Cross Month is a great time for people to become part of the Red Cross and there are many different ways to do it,” Figert said. “They can develop a preparedness plan for their household, become a Red Cross volunteer, give blood, or take a Red Cross class, just to name a few.” The Red Cross is not a government agency and relies on donations of time, money and blood to do its work. An average of 91 cents of every dollar given to the Red Cross is invested in helping people in need. The American Red Cross of North Central Indiana has a number of activities planned for the Red Cross Month, including their annual Hometown Heroes Celebration. This event honors local volunteers and also recognizes two local heroes from the North Central Indiana service area. The event is planned for Tuesday, March 26 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and will be held at the Honeywell Center in Wabash. This year’s event is being sponsored by NIPSCO and will feature entertainment by the local band, Groovetone. In addition to

NIPSCO’s event sponsorship, they have also announced a second partnership with the American Red Cross. For each customer who enrolls in NIPSCO’s free paperless billing service between now and March 31 of this year, the company will donate $10 to Red Cross chapters across the state, to help provide critical services for people affected by disasters or coping with separation due to military assignments including: community disaster planning and preparedness, disaster relief and recovery assistance for individuals and families, and emergency communication and financial

support for military personnel and their families. “We’ve all witnessed the devastating effects of natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy and other emergency events on a national scale,” said Jim Stanley, NIPSCO CEO. “It’s important that we’re prepared if something happens in our own backyard. The Red Cross is the organization that can help and we’re pleased to support their efforts.” “We thank NIPSCO and its customers for their support of the Red Cross mission and work in response to the needs of our community,” added Figert. “Whether

we’re helping a family recover from a house fire, teaching people how they can be prepared for all types of emergencies, or assisting the nation’s military and their families at home, this partnership will help ensure the Red Cross is there for those who need us.” For more information on attending the Hometown Heroes Celebration, nominating a local hero, or other March is Red Cross Month activities individuals and businesses ,should contact the local Red Cross chapter at (888) 563-2658 or email mitch.figert@redcross.org.

IF YOU KNOW of changes or updates that need to be made to the Lions Club Community calendar, please call Donna Harman at 765-833-

6553. Changes need to be made by April 15. THE ROANN U N T I E D M E T H O D I S T Women met in the Church Fellowship Hall for the annual Prayer and Self Denial evening. A light meal was served by the officers; Nancy Shafer, President, Lorene Conrad, Vice President, Alice S t e p h e n s o n , Treasurer, and Kathie Grandstaff, Secretary. Pastor Wayne Balmer opened with prayer. Alice Stephenson gave a Valentine’s devotion entitled,

God’s Conversation Hearts. Each person received a box of hearts with sayings on them, and a scripture about each saying. In April, Pastor Wayne will again take part in the Kairos Prison Ministry. The women voted to give a donation to the Mission and take part in baking 30 dozen cookies for the men, as well as sponsoring individual meals for the meeting. It was also voted that the group would make donations to both the Roann Food Pantry

and Tenderhearts Ministry, in Roann. May 8 will be the Fun Night for the group. It will be a carry-in dinner in the Fellowship Hall. Pastor Wayne ended the evening with a program on Ash Wednesday; a day that is sometimes overlooked by churches. In the early church, ashes were a sign of repentance used to remind us that we are mortal. They also talked about the evening of Denial, remembering that we are entering the season of Lent. The next meeting will be held

on March 13. (From the minutes of the Roann United Methodist Women) METRO NORTH NEWS: An outside evaluator recently visited Metro North Elementary and did a thorough evaluation of the Positive B e h a v i o r Intervention and Support (PBIS) program.

The School-Wide Evaluation Tool (SET) is a tool used annually to measure the implementation of schoolwide positive behavior support. Metro North received 100 percent in all categories. A very high rating shows that Metro North is an exemplary school in

implementing PBIS. Cong ratulations, Metro North! MARK YOUR CALENDAR: The North Miami Drama Club will be presenting the musical Annie on March 22, 23, and 24.

FIRST MERCHANTS TRUST COMPANY THE TRUST — A HARD-WORKING PROBLEM SOLVER Ask most people about a "trust" and they're likely to tell you that it's something only the very well-to-do have, or else it's like some Victorian furniture — stiff and awkward. Those people are simply unaware of the real story. Trusts are actually very flexible financial- and estate-planning tools. What's more, trusts can be very useful for many individuals who are far from rich.

trust and act as your own trustee, if you want. You can also appoint another person or an institution to serve as your trustee or co-trustee with you. (Appointing a co-trustee may be a wise safeguard if you should become incapacitated in the future.) The assets you place in the trust are managed as any other investment would be. The advantage is that on your death the assets are redistributed to your beneficiaries without passing through probate. A revocable living trust like this doesn't save estate taxes because you continue to control the trust assets while you live.

Exactly what is a trust? A trust is an arrangement in which you transfer money or other assets to a trustee. The trustee (who can be an individual or an organization such as ours) manages the trust property for the benefit of another person, according to the terms and conditions that the trust agreement specifies. You can set up a trust during your life or under the terms of your will.

Other living trusts are "irrevocable." They can't be changed. Assets you transfer to an irrevocable trust during your lifetime are considered gifts. Generally, such transfers do remove the assets — and any future appreciation on the assets — from your gross estate for estate-tax purposes.

UPDATE ON JAY BIEHL: After eleven months at an apartment in Fisher’s, Jay is back at his home in North Carolina. Jay had a full clinic day on Feb. 25. Since Jay still could not lift, his good friends Jeff Draper and Lalon Allen loaded his car and as soon as Jay had the “all clear” from his doctor, he started the drive home. The plan had been for his wife, Lisa, to fly to Indy to help him with the drive home. However, their daughter, Abby, broke her ankle while in Washington D.C. at the National Cheerleading finals and instead of Lisa coming to Indy she had to go to

Washington D.C. Driving by himself meant Jay had to stop for an over-night rest in West Virginia and then continue the drive on Tuesday through the mountains in rain and fog. Lisa, Jay’s wife, posted on their Caring Bridge site the following “last thought” at this stage of their family’s life. “A friend gifted me with a devotional called “Jesus Calling.” It’s a beautiful, unique devotional written as if Jesus is talking face to face with the reader. Here is a line in particular that really hit home with me in thinking about our long wait for a transplant, and how, on our best days, we did this …and on our worst days, we did not. “Instead of trying to direct me (God) to do this and that, seek to attune yourself to what I (God) am already doing.” She concluded by saying “May God bless your day today and fill you with a sense of how He is working in your life.” Thanks to everyone for our prayers and please continue to pray for Jay and his family.

How to deal with nuisance Canada geese If Canada geese have become a problem on your property, information is available through the Indiana Department of Natural Resources website. Most goose problems occur from March through June, during the nesting season, when geese are especially aggressive, sometimes attacking and nipping at people. Geese also can cause a great deal of localized damage if many young are hatched in one area. After hatching, goslings are incapable of flight for about 70 days, so the young birds and their parents will graze near the hatching area for that time. Damage to landscaping can be significant and expensive to repair or replace, while large amounts of excrement can render areas unfit for human use. Information on actions property owners can take to manage Canada geese is available at dnr.IN.gov/dnr/fishwild/2996.htm Solutions range from habitat modification, to daily goose harassment through noisemaking devices, to supporting goose hunting or obtaining a DNR trapping permit. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service also allows landowners who are properly registered to destroy resident Canada goose eggs and nests on their property. More information on registering for federal permission to destroy eggs and nests is at https://epermits.fws.gov/ercgr/gesi.aspx. It’s against federal law for anyone to destroy a Canada goose nest that contains one or more eggs without first securing permission through the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. It’s best to use preventive measures such as habitat modification before geese become a nuisance.

Lilian Williams, 99 Former Wabash County resident Oct. 28, 1913 – Feb. 23, 2013 Lilian Williams, 99, passed away at home in Hot Springs Village on Feb. 23. Fourth of eight children, she was born to Frances and Walter Bowman on a farm in Wabash County, on Oct. 28, 1913. After graduating from business college, she went to work for the Lincoln Life Insurance Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In 1938, she met and married J.B. Donnally, who was working as an actuary at the company. Due to nepotism rules at Lincoln at the time, she quit and got a job at the WPA at a salary of $125/month, the same amount her new husband was earning with his master’s degree from the University of Michigan. They had two children, Patti and John, while living in a little house on 3 acres of land in Fort Wayne. In 1950, J.B. took a job with Pan American Life Insurance Company and they moved to New Orleans. Pan American did significant business in Latin America, so they traveled frequently to countries in Central and South American on business. Lilian studied Spanish and, when the wife of the company’s President was unable to do so, gave a speech to a roomful of convention delegates in their native language. In 1962, J.B. joined the American International Group in Hong Kong. They loved their five years there, which included travel throughout the Far East and, in fact, all over the world. Their next AIG assignment was in New York City followed by one in Wilmington, Delaware. In 1971, at the age of 57, J.B. decided to retire, so they set out by car to investigate various places where they might settle. They first stopped in Little Rock, Ark., to see their daughter and her husband. Patti suggested that they look at a new development nearby, Hot Springs Village. They did bought a lot - and went no further. They moved into the Village in January 1972, joining only 125 other full-time residents. At first, they rented a house on Lake Desoto before it had even been dammed and filled; they later moved to a house on Sonora Way. By the time the utilities were brought to the lot they had bought to build their dream house, J.B. was fighting cancer and the dream was never realized. Lilian founded the Women’s Golf Association in the Village; she loved playing golf and collected several trophies along with two holes-in-one over the years. In 1978, J.B. passed away, and Lilian spent the next five years traveling. She married Lester Williams in 1983 and moved into his Hot Springs Village home on El Espinar Lane where they lived until moving to Good Samaritan Cedar Lodge in 2004. They are members of the Woodlands Presbyterian Church. Lilian is survived by her husband, Lester Williams, and by her two children, Patti Leathers (and husband John Brunk), Overland Park, Ka., and John Donnally (and wife Phyllis) Dallas, Texas, along with six grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, four stepchildren, and many step-grandchildren, as well as two sisters and a brother. Her first husband, J.B. Donnally, her mother and father, one sister, and three brothers, preceded her in death. Lilian was definitely an original; her sense of style, exuberant humor and overall pizzazz are unequaled. There will be a service to celebrate her extraordinary life at the Woodlands Presbyterian Church in Hot Springs Village on March 10 at 1 p.m. Her ashes will be interred in the Woodlands Memorial Garden as well as in Restland Memorial Gardens in Dallas, Texas. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to the Arkansas Hospice Foundation or to Woodlands Presbyterian Church, Hot Springs Village, Ark. Guests may register at www.caruth-hale.com

You have only so many years to prepare for retirement. That’s why contributing to your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is so important. Fortunately, you still have time to maximize your 2012 IRA contribution before the April 15 deadline By contributing now, your retirement savings can have more opportunity to grow. Even if you already have an IRA elsewhere, it’s easy to transfer it to an Edward Jones IRA and begin receiving the face-to-face guidance you deserve.

She stated that her parents had lived in the Somerset area when they first married in 1948 and then moved to LaFontaine area. She enclosed a newspaper picture that had been

published in the Marion newspaper. Jean, thank you for sending this information and you and your folks for enjoying the column. THE FEBRUARY MEETING of the LaFontaine Literary Club was held at the Troyer Library on Feb. 14, with Margaret Piety as hostess. Patricia Walters called the meeting to order and the members stood and recited the pledge to the American Flag and America’s Creed. Roll call was

The Strauss Peabody Aquatic Fitness Center is located at 902 N. Market Street in North Manchester. BACK IN THE DAY: This bit of history was taken from the N. Manchester Historical Society website: George The Mascot of Main Street: Main Street in North Manchester is “home” to George, a big friendly, longhaired stray dog. Arriving in February or March of 1947 the dog appeared in the business section with what appeared to be scald wounds and a fear of women. He was taken to the house of Joe Urschel, vice-president of the bank, where he was nursed back to health. Miss Jo Joyce

Urschel named him “George” for a nurse who had aided her after her auto accident. In the summer of that year, the recovered George moved to Main Street. Because of his growing blindness, the merchants try to keep him on the south side of the street as much as possible. Source: Ft. Wayne NewsSentinel, Saturday, Jan. 15, 1949.

Norse Top Knights In OT-Apaches Upset Cass In Manchester Sectional

by Gary Andrews Wednesday night was round two of the Manchester boys basketball sectional and oh what a night it was. Northfield and Southwood were going to battle for the third time of the season in game one. Ryan Keaffaber hit a volleyball line three pointer at the buzzer to send the game to overtime, with the Norse pulling out a 54-48 win. In game two Wabash took on who many thought was the sectional favorite in Lewis Cass. The Kings had defeated Wabash Feb. 9 86-67. The Apaches remembered that night and came out swinging, pulling off the upset 83-77. As in most games between Northfield and Southwood the game was not over until it was over. In the first quarter the teams would punch and counter punch with the score being tied or a lead change 7 times. Corey Phillipy put the Knights up 2-0 with a layup before Marcus Kroh knotted the score. With neither team burning up the nets the Knights led 8-7 with 2:00 to go and neither team would score again until Ryan Keaffaber was fouled as time expired, hitting both free throws and the Norse led 9-8 after one. The Norse would get on the board first in the second quarter on a Jon Richardson layup to go up 11-8. Corey Phillipy would then hit twice in a row to give the Knights the lead back at 1211 and it was game on. The Norse were up 16-12 when Southwood made a move. The Knights would go on an 11-0 run to grab a 23-16 lead with 1:04 to go. The run started with a Shane Smith free throw and ended with a Corey Phillipy free throw. With 0:27 seconds remaining Carter Frieden knocked down a three pointer for the Norse and the Knights led 23-19 at the half. The Knights would start off fast in the third quarter, getting buckets from Smith, Phillipy and Jackson Blair to open a 29-19 lead. Ryan Keaffaber would stop the run with a three point play to cut the lead to 29-22 before Smith hit again. Down 31-22 the Norse would score the last 8 points of the quarter to trail by one, 31-30. Collin Dawes, Keaffaber and Tanner Wilcox all scored during the 8-0 run. The Knights would start the fourth quarter with a bucket from Corey Phillipy, with brother Ross then getting a steal and hitting Nathan Hollars for a layup and Southwood led 35-30

just 30 seconds in to the quarter. The Knights led 35-32 after another Wilcox bucket for the Norse when Smith and Blair hit to lead 39-32. The Knights would continue to hold their lead and were up 44-41 with time running out when Ryan Keaffaber drained a three at the buzzer from long distance to put the game in overtime. Northfield would take the early lead in the overtime on a three from Collin Dawes and were up 50-46 with 2:22 to go. Corey Phillipy hit two free throws that was answered with one free throw from Keaffaber and the Norse lead was 51-48 at 1:30. The Knights would foul Keaffaber with 1:06 left, with Ryan hitting one shot to make it 52-48. After a missed Southwood attempt Marcus Kroh grabbed the rebound, out letting to Collin Dawes who hit Adam Roser for a layup with 0:52 remaining, which would be the final points of the night as the Norse pulled off the 54-48 win. Ryan Keaffaber led the Norse with 24 points. Collin Dawes added 10, Jon Richardson 8, Tanner Wilcox 4, Carter Frieden 3, Marcus Kroh 2, Adam Roser 2, Noah Shear 1. For Southwood Corey Phillipy led with 19 points. Shane Smith added 16, Jackson Blair 9, Levi Sutton 2, Nathan Hollars 2. In game two Wabash was looking for revenge and knew being out sized that a fast and furious pace to wear down the taller Kings would be their shot. Wabash controlled the pace, but the Kings kept pace in the first quarter as the two teams raced up and down the floor. Cass jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead before Andrew Adamson drained his first three of the night. The Kings would build their lead to 10-3 and were up 18-9 when the Apaches got back in the game. Wabash’s style gets them points in bunches and that’s what happened the last 1:52 of the quarter, as the Apaches went on a 12-1 run. Tyler King banged home a three that was followed by a Cody King bucket to make it 18-14 at 1:32. Breyton Nealis would then hit two free throws and get another bucket from Cody King to tie the score at 18 with .50 left. After a Cass free throw Jordan Blair hit with .17 left to give Wabash a 20-19 lead. After a Cass miscue, Andrew Adamson raced the full length of the court for a layup at the buzzer and Wabash led 22-19

after one. The Apaches would get the first bucket of the second quarter by Nealis to lead 24-19. Cass would get to within one point twice the first three minutes before Wabash opened the gap a little. Leading 31-30 with 5:23 remaining the Apaches would go on a run. Wabash would score 9 straight points to increase their lead to 40-31. The run was started with a Grant Sailors layup and ended with a Tyler King bucket. Wabash would then go cold, needing to take time off the clock as Cass scored 10 straight to tie the score at 40 by the half. Only one point was scored the first two minutes of the third quarter, which was a free throw by Cass to lead 41-40. Tyler Brewer got the Apaches going with a bucket and increased their lead to 46-41 on a Taylor Vigar jumper. Wabash increased their lead to 52-45 with three’s from Adamson and Vigar and held the lead the rest of the quarter with Cass hitting at the buzzer to make it 5756 Wabash with a quarter to go. With the February 9th game on everyone’s mind, you wondered when Cass would make a push. The push came at the start of the fourth quarter when the Kings scored the first 6 points to lead 62-57. Wabash did not panic, getting two free throws from Grant Sailors and a bucket from Tyler Brewer to cut the King lead to 6261. After a Cass bucket, Tyler King nailed a three to knot the score at 64 and it was game on. Tied at 66 with 4:02 to go, Adamson would steal the ball, hit the layup while being fouled and convert the three point play to give Wabash a 69-66 lead. Up and down the floor they went with Cass cutting the Wabash lead to 75-73 with 1:49 on the clock. With 1:03 left, Wabash led 79-77 . The Kings would miss a free throw, get the rebound and miss the bucket, finally fouling Nealis with .21 left. Nealis calmly sank both free throws, then forced a turnover, hitting a layup with .12 left to give Wabash an 83-77 lead which ended up being the final score. Leading the Apaches was Breyton Nealis with 20 points. Andrew Adamson added 19, Tyler King 12, Tyler Brewer 10, Taylor Vigar 7, Cody King 6, Grant Sailors 4, Kodi Clemons 3, Jordan Blair 2.

Norse Edge Squires for Sectional repeat

by Gary Andrews It was championship night at the Manchester boys’ basketball sectional Saturday with the Manchester Squires and the Northfield Norsemen going to battle. Ironically, the last time Manchester had won a sectional was in 1995 when current Northfield head coach Moe Smedley coached the Squires. The Norsemen were going for their second straight sectional crown and fourth overall under Smedley. Manchester made it to the final game by defeating Oak Hill 55-53 in the first semi-final game Friday. Northfield was in the final by edging Southwood 54-48 in overtime Wednesday and topping Wabash 87-61 Friday. Everything went right for the Squires early, racing out to an eight-point lead and making the Norse play catch up most of the first half. Being calm and staying patient, the Norse took the lead midway in the third quarter and held off the Squires for a 5147 win and a second straight sectional title. With both teams being a bit jittery at the start of the game, the first two points didn’t come until the 6:47 mark when Collin Dawes hit two free throws to give Northfield a 2-0 lead. With nearly three and a half minutes gone in the quarter the score was still 2-0 when Claudell Dickantone went on a hot streak. Dickantone would drain three straight three pointers to give Manchester a 92 lead and was followed by a Chase Fierstos bucket to make it 11-2. Tanner Wilcox would stop the Squire run with two free throws with 2:16 left to make it

11-4. Phoenix Goad would score the final bucket of the quarter as the Squires led 13-4, holding Northfield without a bucket the entire quarter. As cold as the Norse were in the first quarter, it was quite the opposite in the second. Collin Dawes would start the quarter nailing a three with Adam Roser adding two free throws to cut the Squire lead to 13-9. Dickantone would then hit from behind the arch for the fourth time and was answered by a three point play from Roser, making it 16-12. Refusing to give in, the Squires got a bucket from Neil Underwood and a three from Chase Fierstos to make it 21-14 and with 4:06 left, the Squires got a bucket from Phoenix Goad to lead 23-17. Just as they did in the game against Wabash on Friday, the Norse would get hot and go on a run. Adam Roser would lead a 10-0 charge by the Norse, scoring six points that included a three pointer as the Norse stormed back to take a 27-23 lead. The Squires would get a free throw from Dickantone and a steal for a bucket from Fierstos to end the half with Northfield leading 2726. Jon Richardson would get the first bucket of the third quarter before Clayton Petrie connected for a three to make it 30-29. Northfield leading scorer Ryan Keaffaber would hit his first and only bucket of the game with 5:00 remaining to give Northfield a 32-29 lead before Dickantone

Northfield and Southwood wrestle at Madison Grant by Gary Andrews The Northfield and Southwood junior high wrestling teams traveled to Madison Grant Feb. 28. Winning for the Norse were Michael Ford, Layne Evans, Macauley Miller, Ryan Driscoll, and Dayon Waldron in a 33-30 win over Madison Grant. Against Riverview, Northfield lost by a score of 40 to 49. Matt Campbell, Heath Lambert, Adam Smalley, Chris Orpurt, Tim Charles, and Jeremy Okuly won their matches. In the last match of the night, the Norse defeated Southwood by a score of 42 to 19. Heath Lambert, Tim Charles, Zach Shadden, Chris Orpurt, Jeremy Okuly, Dayon Waldron, TJ Powers, and Tyler Sisco won their matches. The Knights came away with a 24-24 tie against Riverview, a 12-33 loss to Madison Grant, and a 18-42 loss against rival Northfield. Logan Louck, Chad Elliott, Isaac Cooper and Chris Adams all picked up two wins on the evening.

would hit his fifth and sixth three pointer to put the Squires back up 35-32. The two teams would trade buckets and with 1:15 left the Squires still led 37-34 before Roser converted a three point play to knot the score at 37. After a missed shot by the Squires, Collin Dawes hit a one hand, ten-foot floater at the buzzer to give the Norse a 39-37 lead with a quarter to go. Neil Underwood tied the game right away to start the fourth when Norse sharp shooter Collin Dawes found the range from behind the arch to give the Norse a 42-39 lead. Both offenses would go stagnant for several minutes as the nerves started to take over when Chase Fierstos would draw the Squires to within one with a bucket. Dawes then found the range behind the arch again with 1:21 on the clock to give Northfield a 45-41 lead. The Norse would get the next point of the game on an Adam Roser free throw to lead 46-41 with 1:05 remaining. The Squires would work the ball, getting a bucket from Dickantone with 51.7 left to make it 46-43 and Northfield calling time out. After two Tanner Wilcox free throws made it 48-43 the Squires got buckets from Fierstos and Underwood to make it 48-47 with 26.2 left. The Squires would foul with Wilcox converting from the line again as the Norse made free throws down the stretch to nip Manchester 51-47. Leading Northfield was Adam Roser with 17 points. Collin

Winter weather loosened soil; no-till a viable option W E S T LAFAYETTECold winter temperatures and increased precipitation have helped loosen soils enough that spring tillage might not be neces-

sary in Indiana farm fields, a Purdue Extension agronomist says. Multiple freezethaw cycles, plus numerous wetting and drying cycles

brought on by the arrival of enough snow and rain have made no-till an even more viable and attractive option for corn and soybean growers than it was

last spring. “We’ve seen more frost activity, and that’s been really beneficial in terms of accomplishing some deeper soil loosening,” Tony Vyn said.

PICTURED ARE WINNERS OF THE 2013 SPELLING BEE held Feb. 11, at the Wabash Middle School.

The 2013 overall Wabash County champion and a threetime winner of the Journal-Gazette Spelling Bee is Sarah Pyle with the winning word ‘predicament.’ Sarah will compete with 14 other county winners on March 9, at IPFW’s Rhinehart Music Center. A win would receive an all-expenses paid trip to Washington D.C. to compete in the 85th annual Scripps National Spelling Bee. (photo by Ashley Flynn)

2nd annual FUNdraiser for Sarah Kaye Haupert Memorial Dance Scholarship Endowment announced

The Sarah Kaye Haupert Memorial Dance Scholarship Endowment was created by friends and family of Rod and Sarah Haupert, who were tragically killed in an automobile accident on August 14, 2011. The endowment has been established through the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County and will provide scholarships to keep alive Sarah’s passion for life and interest in dance. The scholarships will help individuals like Sarah, who demonstrate kindness, happiness, and a positive, independent “can do” mental attitude, pursue a four-year degree. A Murder Mystery dinner and silent auction FUNdraiser is planned for 7 p.m. on Sunday. April 20, at the Wabash County REMC building. John Revolta invites you to join him at the grand opening of his new dance club, the D.D.T! His hot-to-trot,

disco-dancing partner, Dinghy Delirium, will join John for this oncein-a-lifetime event!

Your only mission – if you choose to accept it – is to sit back, enjoy the fun, and guess “whodunit.” Audience participation is the driving force behind the murder mystery; however, participating is strictly voluntary. Many of

the patrons will be invited to be the stars for the evening by reading a small part. Remember, we can’t do the show without you!

For more information, contact Ann Haupert at 260-5684871.

“The fact is that we’re having more rain, and if that continues this spring there’s a greater danger of compaction when doing spring tillage prematurely in fields that are too wet for those operations.” When making spring tillage decisions, Vyn said farmers should gauge operation timing, soil history and soil moisture. “Spring tillage decisions need to be made by first considering the crop to be grown, the previous crop and the individual field situation,” he said. “And it’s extremely important to be careful on the timing of any spring tillage operation.” Vyn recommended that farmers do minimum tillage in order to leave as much crop residue as possible on fields. Leaving crop residue reduces soil erosion and can lead to better water-use efficiency. Beyond traditional tillage and no-till, growers have some intermediate options, such as strip tillage, shallow vertical tillage systems and single-pass cultivator systems when primary fall tillage was not done. If tillage is necessary and once the right system is chosen, farmers should

years have encouraged farmers to install field drainage systems to help soil dry earlier in spring or following heavy rainfall. That extra drainage also helps with no-till and strip-till practices. “As we learned from the drought last year, there is a huge benefit in keeping topsoil in place to help maintain root-zone soil moisture in dry weather periods, particularly in sloping fields,” Vyn said. Last year’s drought in Indiana started early in the season, and Vyn said farmers didn’t see as much growth benefit from no-till as they normally might have. But this year, fields are already more loosened from winter weather.

check the soil moisture at the depth of the tillage implement and an inch or two below to ensure the soil is sufficiently dry before completing operations. “Avoid being out in the fields too early,” Vyn said. “It’s crucial to look at the timing and depth of tillage operations to make sure we’re accomplishing an improvement in soil structure rather than contributing to a pooper soil structure.” According to Vyn, no tillage is necessary in fields where soybeans follow soybeans and most fields were corn follows soybeans. But in highresidue situations, such as when corn follows corn, tillage might be needed. High commodity prices in the past few

Sumo Robotics Competition at Heartland Career Center On Friday, March 1, Heartland Career Center’s Electronics and Computers class competed in a Sumo Robot competition. There were 31 students that participated in the daylong event. According to Doug Shannon, the E l e c t r o n i c s Instructor, “this was the culmination of eight weeks of work on these self designed robots.” Students

worked in teams to put together a robot that would compete in either a light or heavy weight division, with the goal of locating and eliminating their opponent’s robot by pushing it out of the 5-foot diameter ring. Mr. Shannon indicated that there were 13 total teams (5 light weight teams, and 8 heavy weight teams). In preparation for the contest, students had to apply their

skills in designing, building, and programming their robots. The robots were self propelled, battery-powered machines that students made from scrap materials and parts. Students had to be creative with the size, speed and programming of their machines, developing a strategy to out maneuver their opponent. In the process, they

were also applying basic programming techniques (using PBasic programming language) that created the movement of their machines through a basic stamp processor (the brains of the robot). Heartland’s student body was invited, with several outside guests, to view the competition. Leanna Swetnam (WHS) of the Health Science Program at Heartland watched the afternoon’s event and commented, “It was a fun afternoon. The competitions were intense and the students did a really nice job.” The winners of the competition were: TJ VanHoose (WHS) and Austin Warner (WHS) in the lightweight category (Robot Name: ONYX 3000); and Humberto Rodriquez (NHS) in the Heavy weight competition (Robot Name: Ironman).
